The Stardust MemoryKyoko Koizumi
This song became a hot topic because it was written by Toshihiko Takamizawa, the guitarist from THE ALFEE.
The portrayal of a girl stretching to reach an adult kind of love fits Kyoko Koizumi’s persona perfectly.
It poignantly sings of glittering scenes and shifting emotions, likening them to stars.

I can picture two friends who have reunited as adults reminiscing about their old memories.
It expresses a sorrowful anger at not knowing what to do with the self that has become tainted through various experiences in adulthood, having forgotten the pure feelings of childhood.
I also sensed an eternal longing for youth.

Anyway, it’s an incredibly cool track—powerful and beautiful.
There’s a Japanese version, but I find the original much more charming.
The choreography features Rino Nakasone, well-known from Girls’ Generation, and the result is unsurprisingly top-notch.
The rap that starts with Yoona and Jessica’s soaring high notes near the end are stunning, making this a masterfully structured classic.
